rvaubel Posted September 23, 2006 Share #5 Posted September 23, 2006 I went for silver chrome because of its durability (and 50's look) But I would really like black paint, especially since the top and bottom plate are machined brass. I think I will spring for the $150 accessary grip and paint it in black. That will require stripping the finish down to the brass, but I have done this before. The bottom plate will be easy to strip and paint because it is a simple surface. If this works, on to the top plate! Rex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosuna Posted September 23, 2006 Share #6 Posted September 23, 2006 Black, due to two reasons: 1) it is more discrete; 2) most lenses are black, and only a few lenses are "silver". I like "silver" finish and the retro look, but those two reasons are enough for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP3 Posted September 23, 2006 Share #7 Posted September 23, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Black, (except when the black chrome finish is of low quality), reasons same as ruben. Don't want to be recognised as a rich retiree is another reason. Best Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted September 23, 2006 Share #8 Posted September 23, 2006 All my lenses are black and with the chrome body, the only chome accessory I'll buy is a grip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterb Posted September 23, 2006 Share #12 Posted September 23, 2006 I'm holding out for the Hermes limited editions in digitized iguana skin at $17,995.00 (US) ... $4995 for a typical M8 body in either black or silver seems, to me anyway, just sooooooooo pedestrian.

like_no_other Posted September 23, 2006 Share #15 Posted September 23, 2006 i ordered black but also would love black lacqueur. i have a chrome m6 and have always liked the look of the black ones...b I haven't ordered it yet but I think I will prefer the silver chromed version because I think that it makes the thicker M8 body look a bit more slim.
